As part of Maroondah’s Bushland Treasures Day (Saturday, February 17 at Maroondah Access Gallery – Federation Estate – please see Ruth Jackson Flyer) Heathmont Bushcare has been invited to set up a display table. This is a great opportunity to promote the group and our good work!

NB The display table needs to be set-up before 10.30AM and there is one free invite available to the event, although the catch would be staffing the display table during the lunch break.

Come and see this significant collection of over 90 original works featuring native varieties of orchids, lilies, wildflowers and fungi, offering viewers an insight into the beauty of the natural world. This is a ‘not to be missed’ exhibition.

Some of the exhibition feedback so far

“Exquisite!!”

“Wow!! What a fantastic show”

“Fabulous, never knew we had so many incredible species in Maroondah”

“A wonderful eye opener to the splendours of nature captured by one who obviously has wonderful vision”

FREE and open to all ages
As part of our current exhibition Drawn from the Collection: Maroondah’s Bushland Treasures by botanical illustrator Ruth Jackson we welcome you to join us for what will be a fascinating series of talks about Maroondah’s Bushlands. Hear from the experts about the fascinating plant life of native orchids and the ecology of our local environment while learning from local conservation groups about what measures can be taken to protect our bushland treasures.

Further to our AGM please note that Rhys Coleman (Waterways and Wetlands Research Manager, Applied Research, Melbourne Water) will be talking on Melbourne Water’s “Threatened Native Fish Project”. This has seen the recent introduction of threatened native fish into the Dandenong Creek catchment.
